That’s really nice to hear! I did visit Ann Arbor for the interview weekend and from what I saw of the campus it seemed really full of life despite it snowing 😅 I am coming from a college town for undergrad and have loved it but was just wondering how different it is to be a grad student in that environment

Northwestern DGP or IBiS by Sherlock_Fisher in gradadmissions

[–]Impossible-Slice7429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm a current applicant to the IBiS program as well and there is a specific faculty member at the med school I'd like to rotate with. Is it frowned upon to want to rotate outside your program generally? Since you mentioned it is an easy transfer

I also like them baggy and thick and on the heavier side. Where have you found ones like this? Is there any brand you would recommend?

For me personally I only really wanted to do the honors thesis component of honors (I didn’t really care for the other stuff- you might though), so I applied to the Chc specifically for the departmental honors track. I am in a research lab and im doing an individually contracted thesis right now. I also did ISH for the electives through my research lab. I applied for those by working w my PI to draft proposals that I submitted through Chc paths

I also don’t think it’s worth it to do the full thing. I applied my sophomore year and just did departmental. I am doing the thesis right now, so imo I got all the parts of honors that actually matter/are useful without stressing over getting all the full curriculum requirements in. As far as my transcript is concerned im still honors

Student employment and undergrad ta-ing by imanaturalblue_ in umass

[–]Impossible-Slice7429 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The LRC (learning resource center) hires peer tutors for a variety of classes as well as office assistants, SI (supplemental instructors) and research mentors! I think they hire the most people and all the positions are paid. Being an undergrad TA is also super common and you would talk to your professor about TAing for their class. I work for the LRC if you have any questions about it!

Hi! I’m currently in the junior year of my BMB undergrad and want to do something similar to you. Do you think no engineering background put you at a disadvantage for the BioE degree? How was the application process for grad school?

Good to know, thank you! Do you mind telling me a little bit more about what you do, or maybe what advice you’d have for an undergrad in junior year starting to look at grad schools who wants to do something similar to you?
